...instigation isn't coming exclusively from McCain. A group calling itself 18 Million Voices paraded and rallied outside Denver's convention center to reaffirm their commitment to Clinton - and to vent their considerable frustrations. Between drags of a Seneca menthol cigarette, Andy Colón, a lifelong Democrat who was raised in New York, works in construction in Colorado Springs and volunteered much of this past spring for Clinton, said he's lost faith. "Am I disgusted and fed up with the Democratic Party? You better believe it," Colón said...
...February in Berlin and opened at the top of the box-office list in June in Hong Kong - is infused with an affection for Hong Kong's people and cityscape, as well as concern for threatened urban landmarks (a very topical preoccupation). "The movie is a way to gently vent my protest," To says. Among other directors, Sylvia Chang's accomplished triad-cum-family drama Run Papa Run, released in April, covers decades of Hong Kong's social transformation, while Ann Hui's low-key new release The Way We Are offers a compelling grass-roots community portrait...

...province's economic development agency, on the city's outskirts lives have changed little since apartheid. Many families live in the same tin shacks they occupied under white supremacy. Most have no running water, sanitation or meaningful health care. In this sea of unmet expectation, Muyumba says South Africans vent their frustration on the only group more vulnerable than them: foreigners. As Africa's most developed nation, South Africa has long been a magnet for refugees and economic migrants. Since 2000, some 800,000 Zimbabweans have joined the tens of thousands of immigrants from Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Congo and Somalia...
